Learning How to See with Brian McLaren

Victimization Stories

Listen Later

How do you tell the story of a time you have been wronged or betrayed? 

Many of us experience victimization. But when does "victim" become an outdated part of our identity? Brian McLaren offers us: “If victims allow themselves to take an offramp from their victimizing stories, they embrace another way to define their lives.”  

We're continuing forward with powerful explorations of storytelling as resilience and transformation.
